Pilot Capless Luxury LS Purple Fountain Pen

Pilot Capless Luxury LS Purple Fountain Pen

A refined evolution of Pilot's iconic Capless series, the Luxury LS Purple is designed to transform the act of writing into a quiet, elegant ritual. Combining innovation, craftsmanship, and contemporary design, this premium fountain pen introduces a new two-in-one mechanism that engages the nib with a press and retracts it with a smooth twist. Perfect for those who value both technical precision and aesthetic harmony.

Design and concept

The Capless LS (Luxury & Silent) fountain pens are clear examples of innovation and finesse. These new Capless models feature a revisited design that makes the retractable mechanism quieter than ever. One click deploys the 18K gold nib, while a soft twist gently retracts it back into the barrel. This dual-action mechanism required a redesigned push button, now complemented by a discreet fin and a curved-profile ring. These subtle modifications preserve the traditional elegance of the Capless line while adding a modern flair.

Available in glossy lacquered finishes with rhodium-plated trims or a matte black body, the Luxury LS series is offered in black, blue and purple tones. The purple edition stands out with a deep, luminous sheen that reflects light beautifully with every angle.

Functionality and filling system

Equipped with Pilot’s legendary Capless retractable nib system, the LS model eliminates the need for a cap entirely. A shutter mechanism ensures airtight protection when not in use. This pen is compatible only with Pilot ink cartridges or the CON-40 converter (included), ensuring convenience, precision, and clean filling.

Capless series history and innovation

The Pilot Capless journey began in 1963 with the world’s first capless fountain pen. Over the decades, each generation of Capless models has reflected technological progress and stylistic evolution:

• 1963: Original rotary Capless mechanism
• 1964: First push-button model for one-handed operation
• 1968: Weight-actuated system triggered by gravity
• 1971–1984: Enhanced shutter and clip designs
• 1998–2006: Metallic finishes and streamlined models like Fermo and Decimo
• 2019: Introduction of the Luxury LS series with silent dual-action operation

This evolution reflects Pilot’s enduring philosophy: to harmonize technical excellence with aesthetic refinement. With the Luxury LS, over 60 years of Capless innovation culminate in a model that is both understated and bold.
